About Stand For Kindness

Stand For Kindness rose from the ashes of the 2017 North Bay Area Fires; the organization, founded by Chaela Ciongoli, Jenni Karakasevic, and Lauren Karlowsky, was conceived to create a centralized online platform connecting the world with the immediate emergency response and long-term recovery needs of Napa and Sonoma wildfire survivors. The founders supported their community by helping people evacuate, offering their homes as a refuge to evacuees, and checking on the houses and animals of others that were unable. Together, they devised a plan to quickly respond to community members in need post-disaster.
